Dutch Courage

Rolf Slotboom raised to 1,350 on the button and both blinds called. On the {5-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} fop, the big blind bet 3,000 and Slotboom raised to 8,000. After the small blind had ducked out of the way, the big blind moved all in and Slotboom called.

Cards on their backs and it was winces all around as the set-over-set encounter was revealed, Slotboom's {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} in dominating shape against an inferior {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. No miracle on the {7-Diamonds} turn and {Q-Hearts} river and the former dealer and magazine editor jumped back up to 85,400.
